The future of water in one place
Focus Matters.
We are not a cleantech fund, because in cleantech water is a $900 billion afterthought. You can’t be good at water unless you only do water. Burnt Island Ventures funds the best entrepreneurs in water, worldwide. That’s it. This is a giant, esoteric, and foundational market for the entire global economy. Our founder, supported by a world class network of advisors, brings a unique perspective from his decade of experience in the sector, including building the industry’s top Accelerator program.
